Abstract
A reproducing apparatus and method for both CD and complex disks capable of displaying a still frame of video information during the reproduction of the audio portion of a complex disk. When reproduction of a disk is first started, it is detected whether the disk is a complex disk or a CD. In the former case, the pickup is immediately shifted to the region where both audio and video information are recorded and reproduction is begun. During the reproduction of this region, a frame of video data is extracted and saved in a memory for reproduction during the playing of the solely audio portion of the disk.
